| Seats problems |
In 2020 my Tesla started throwing a strange fault. Front passenger safety restraint system issue. The seat would be empty and sometimes the vehicle threw warnings that seatbelt was unbuckled like someone was sitting in the seat. I reported the problem to Tesla and they sent home service in 2020 and supposedly reconnected a cable. The issue has now returned. When I had my vehicle serviced last week they denied warranty to repair the issue even though I reported it back in 2020 and they failed to fix it. They said the sensor has to be replaced, but they can't replace the sensor and have to replace the entire seat just to fix the sensor. And since they refused warranty, I can't afford to replace an entire seat like that.
The front passenger seat sensor failed. Without the sensor properly detecting weight, the airbag will deploy no matter the weight of the front seat passenger. Tesla has fixed the sensor placement in newer models as the service tech told us this is a common issue in later models where the only fix is to pay over $5k to replace the entire seat otherwise the airbag will go off no matter what.
Tesla mentioned the seat alga’s a sensor malfunction. It is a 2019. The sensor malfunction impacts the airbag deployment. They will not fix and requires $4100 replacement of the seat.
